Using digital tools & AI for new business venturing & strategic decision making

Today’s impact of Artificial intelligence and Machine learning in organizations and research cannot be overstated. Managers and entrepreneurs are increasingly relying on digital tools and data analytics to make decisions that affect their organizations and ventures.
